Deletes the file or directory at the specified path.

prompt
Custom message in the title bar of the file dialog box that appears when you do not wire a value to the input path.
path
The absolute path to the file or folder you want to delete.
If you do not wire a value to path, this node displays a dialog box from which you can select a file or folder. If you specify an empty or relative path, this
node returns an error
entire hierarchy
A Boolean value that determines whether this node deletes all the content in the folder.
True |
This node deletes all files and folders within the specified path. |
False |
This node does not delete all files and folders within the specified path. |
Default: False
confirm
A Boolean value that determines whether the node displays a dialog box that asks you to confirm the delete operation.
True |
A dialog box asking you to confirm the delete operation appears. |
False |
A dialog box asking you to confirm the delete operation does not appear. |
Default: False
error in
Error conditions that occur before this node runs.
The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.
Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.
error in does not contain an error
|
error in contains an error
|
 |
 |
If no error occurred before the node runs, the node begins execution normally.
If no error occurs while the node runs, it returns no error. If an error does occur while the node runs, it returns that
error information as error out.
|
If an error occurred before the node runs, the node does not execute. Instead, it returns the error in value as error out.
|
Default: No error
deleted path
The path to the deleted file or folder.
This output returns
<Not a Path> if an error occurred.
cancelled?
A Boolean value that indicates whether the user cancelled the dialog box that appears if no input file was wired to this node.
True |
The dialog box was cancelled. |
False |
The dialog box was not cancelled, or the dialog box did not appear. |
error out
Error information.
The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
